About

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Michigan, where I work with Prof. Edwin Olson. My interests lie in perception, localization, and mapping. I also work on hardware and various firmware bits for our MAGIC2 robots. I'm passionate about not just understanding theory but also developing the engineering know-how to implement real-world systems.

As an undergraduate at the University of California, Berkeley, I helped organize the PiE Robotics Competition, a STEM mentorship program for East Bay high schools. I contributed to the design of a low-cost robotics kit, and developed a training course for our university student mentors.
